[Bug 1715213] [NEW] Adopt openSUSE patch that adds high-res icons for Firefox, so the Large Icons task switcher in KDE Plasma doesn't have an ugly Firefox icon

[Nate Graham]

Public bug reported:

Right now, Firefox in Ubuntu is packaged with a set of low-res icons.
Because of this, is you use KDE Plasma with the Large Icons alt-tab task
switcher, the Firefox icons look ugly: https://i.imgur.com/LdL7wlM.png

openSUSE packagers patch in larger icons, and so in openSUSE, they look
sharp and crisp: https://i.imgur.com/Le8ZhWg.png

I have opened a ticket with Mozilla, but it has been ignored:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1371932

So until they fix it upstream, we may want to consider adopting the
openSUSE patch in Ubuntu:
https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1057115

This way, KDE Plasma users will get nice Firefox icons in their Large
Icons alt-tab task switchers.
